Lessons For Life Poem by Lakshmi Venkataraman

Lessons For Life

Rating: 5.0


When we adore a person unconditionally
We’ll be hurt ~ Anyway adore them

When we trust a person completely
We’ll be let down ~ Anyway trust them

Whenever we say the truth
We’ll be condemned ~ Anyway speak it

Whenever we cry our hearts out
We’ll have no one to share ~ Anyway cry

Whenever we praise a person from our heart
Flattery is what they call ~ Anyway praise

Whenever we yearn for something veraciously
We’ll never get it ~ Anyway yearn for it

Whenever we work hard
We fail to achieve ~ Anyway work

Whenever we want to live a life
We’ll realize it’s full of hardships ~ Anyway live

When we live, just understand these truths
God is unique ~ seek him,
Relish the bliss of complete salvation at his feet,
Then our hearts will know peace! !

Really good poem on life lessons Lakshmi. To keep striving to live and be better. That no matter how many times life seems to let you down, or how many people have let you down to keep going, don't give up.. get where you want to go no matter how long the road and no matter how hard it is...to keep going. loved the poem.. i truly enjoyed it. ~Hazel G.E
